Selenium not working with correct chromedriver version and chrome version

Question

I want to just write a hello world with selenium and have the following code:

from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/Users/[...]/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.google.com")

But I keep getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\driver_finder.py", line 38, in get_path
    path = SeleniumManager().driver_location(options) if path is None else path
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\common\selenium_manager.py", line 75, in driver_location
    browser = options.capabilities["browserName"]
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'capabilities'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\[...]\ets.py", line 3, in <module>
    driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:/Users/[...]/chromedriver/chromedriver.exe')

    self.service.path = DriverFinder.get_path(self.service, options)

    msg = f"Unable to obtain driver for {options.capabilities['browserName']} using Selenium Manager."
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am using Chrome version: 119.0.6045.200 And ChromeDriver: 119.0.6045.105

I cant find anything on it, thanks for the help

Answer 1

You can simply get the driver by:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

then:

driver.get("https://www.google.com")

You don't need driver.exe anymore
